The United Nations Digital Library is here!

Thursday 18 May 2017

Topics: Digital Collections, Resources

The United Nations Digital Library (UNDL) is now available! A result of the successful collaboration between the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and the United Nations Office at Geneva Library, the platform provides access to UN-produced materials in digital format free of charge. At the same time it is a major service for the long-term preservation of the Organization’s collective memory incorporating the latest relevant international standards. It is built on open source technology developed by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). We now have the ability to bring together the diverse institutional heritage of the United Nations and preserve it for future generations.

We’d like to thank all the UN libraries who helped with the development of the United Nations Digital Library, in particular the ESCWA and OHCHR libraries for their translation assistance.
